This week the Heat won against the L.A. Lakers, one of the best teams in the NBA. This victory was huge for the Heat. It stopped a 5 game losing streak. This game also stopped a 7 game winning streak for the Lakers. The regular season is almost over and these last few games really mean a lot. The Heat got most of their help from the weaker of hte Big 3, Chris Bosh. Bosh had 29 points and 9 rebounds, a very impressive game against such a team as the Lakers. Dwayne Wade had 20 points, 5 assists, and 5 rebounds, while LeBron James had 19 points, 9 rebounds, and 8 assists. James and Wade both put up very solid numbers.
What really helped the Heat overcome the Lakers was probably how the whole team steped up. Mario Chalmers had 9 points and 5 assists. He hasnt had a very good season and the Heat have thought about trading him. Mike Miller had 12 points and 7 assists which is also very impressive for a back-up player. The other players (not the Big 3) were responsible for 31 points which was probably the reason the Heat won. In the NBA you cant just have 3 amazing players to win a championship and it will take all the Heat players to be successful. The Heat are now 45-21 and are 3rd in the Easter Conference Standings.
It's interesting that the Heat had been losing to lesser teams, then stepped up and won the game against a real rival. It will be interesting to see if they can keep it up.
